What could keep me from receiving approval for a TN license?

The Tennessee Real Estate Commission carefully examines all applications for affiliate brokers. If you have been convicted of, pled no contest to, pled guilty to or been granted first offender treatment upon being charged with any criminal offense other than a traffic violation, you can expect your application to be especially scrutinized. The same holds true if you have been disciplined in conjunction with other professional licenses you have held.

If you have a history of any of the above, you can request a preliminary decision from the Tennessee Real Estate Commission prior to investing in time and dollars for pre-licensing education and the exam. This request can be made by completing the Application for Decision Regarding Prior Criminal Conviction(s) and/or Disciplinary Sanction(s) and submitting it to the Commission with the required documentation, as outlined on the form.
